Rusting looks fantastic!

OK uploaded to AF.

Enjoy!








Top left rim is after blackwashing.

Currently i am waiting that weathered suspension parts are drying.

Wow! Great job. That motor looks awesome, looks like something you'd see out in the junkyard. The rust looks really good too. A little substantial, but great job.

I dont like names either, but lets not start going into terms of whats what.

Not bad rust but may i offer some suggestions? next time you need to thin the plastic before rusting. a rust spot would never be that thick. if you look at a real rusted car the rust spot tapers out very thin, it wouldnt have the thickness around the edges. also the paint looks too new for a rusted out car so you should dust the fenders and such as well. hope this makes sense but for a first effort its a nice effect!

Hey,

Nice work so far. Where did you get the turbo from? Cool idea, hope the engine can take it tho. lol Keep up the great work.

Well, have you decided what to call this. I got new idea for the bed. Flip-style that is.

Turbo is scratchbuilt from part-trees. Maybe i'll do a How-To next time.

And for rusting. I'll probably make fender edges thinner and add some spices to simulate rust. Is that rust color ok?

[Jurva]

Well, chassis is done. Engine is in place. Weathered chassis and suspension parts. Body needs some weathering too.

The weathering is great. The engine detailing too!
